This new rule, if it is indeed a new rule, is extremely silly as has been pointed out in the recent 20 page thread concerning this (I'm not going to copy+paste all of my arguments against it, but I mention a few of them below). I also think this new rule would just cause more work for the GM's, since now they have to verify the order in which people arrived at the camp. After all, disputes over the HS key camps have occurred over even smaller issues.

Amelinda, I respect you and all, but if someone is waiting a long time at the camp while another guild has it, then that's their own fault. All they have to do is just ask the guild in question when (approximately) they're going to let go of the camp, so they don't have to waste so much time. If someone is waiting around while another guild holds it, then it's actually that person who's being a jerk, since the only reason they could be waiting is so that they can pounce on the camp if the people camping it go linkdead or afk or something. There's really no other rational reason they would just stay at the camp forever while someone else is claiming it.

Like I've said before, one big part of eq is forming relationships of trust with lots of people, so obviously being in an association like a guild is going to benefit you, while people like Chtulu (nothing against you, just the best example I could come up with) who get kicked out of every guild they're in won't have the benefit of relatively easy access to these camps (and when I say relatively easy, I really do mean RELATIVELY - I still waited 12 hours for my prod when my guild was holding the camp). I don't like how Amelinda's suggestion trivializes this aspect of the game.

I hope this came across as constructive. I'll respect whatever rules the GM's come up with, I just think this suggestion is a bad one.
